Patriot Majority

WASHINGTON – Patriot Majority is turning up the heat on Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer.

A new television advertisement entitled “Sweatshop” aired by the progressive organization criticizing Schaffer for his opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act goes so far as to suggest that Schaffer has turned a blind eye on forced abortions for garment workers.

“Garment workers forced to have abortions. Massive safety violations. Sweatshop wages. All on American soil, and documented by our government,” an announcer intones in the 30-second spot. “But Congressman Bob Schaffer says it’s not our job to fix these problems. Now, here in Colorado, Schaeffer won’t support a law to help working families earn better wages and healthcare benefits. Tell Bob Schaffer to start standing up for working families.”
